**Question:** 

What quadrant does -1562° belong to?

---

### Explanation:

To determine the quadrant in which -1562° lies, we first need to convert this angle to its equivalent positive angle between 0° and 360°. 

1. **Convert to a Positive Angle:**

   Since -1562° is a negative angle, we add 360° repeatedly until we get a positive angle:
   
   \[
   -1562° + 360° = -1202°
   \]
   
   \[
   -1202° + 360° = -842°
   \]
   
   \[
   -842° + 360° = -482°
   \]
   
   \[
   -482° + 360° = -122°
   \]
   
   \[
   -122° + 360° = 238°
   \]

2. **Determine the Quadrant:**

   We now see that the equivalent angle is 238°. To find which quadrant this angle is in, note the following ranges for each quadrant:
   
   - Quadrant I: 0° to 90°
   - Quadrant II: 90° to 180°
   - Quadrant III: 180° to 270°
   - Quadrant IV: 270° to 360°
   
   Since 238° falls into the range of 180° to 270°, we conclude that -1562° lies in **Quadrant III**.
